461: Chapter 460: The Unstoppable Winning Streak 461: Chapter 460: The Unstoppable Winning Streak As one example, the Xie Family produced a superstar newcomer, whose swordsmanship was so fast, none could compare.
Even after ten matches, no one had been able to see clearly how he drew his sword.
On the Thunder Sect side, there was likewise a new star disciple.
His body was engulfed in a wild thunder aura, second only to Lei Zhen.
One after another, unparalleled geniuses sprang up like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, contending with the talents of the previous competition.
Above the ancient city, five Venerables showed satisfied smiles.
These newly emerged geniuses have even surpassed the previous batch.”
“And the geniuses of these two competitions combined are indeed the strongest in nearly five hundred years!”
“The Tian Nan Domain was once ravaged by the Black Dragon Sect, and its geniuses fell into decline.
Now it seems, recovery is at hand,” Red Fire Venerable said with a smile.
At that moment, a palm-sized jade-green bird flew from the sky, quickly landing on the shoulder of Green Lotus Venerable.
The jade-green bird chirped a few times, seemingly passing on some message.
Indeed, moments later, Green Lotus Venerable frowned.
Upon hearing the information conveyed by the jade-green bird, Green Lotus Venerable’s face grew dark.
“What’s the situation?” Red Fire Venerable and the others were curious.
Being a Venerable in the Tian Nan Domain already represented the pinnacle of existence, and very few things could cause them concern.
Yet, Green Lotus Venerable was displaying a rare look of worry.
“According to the Martial Alliance, remnants of the Black Dragon Sect have infiltrated among these Azure Dragon Society disciples.”
“What, remnants of the Black Dragon Sect have infiltrated as well?” Red Fire Venerable and the others exclaimed in surprise.
The message from Green Lotus Venerable was clear: the remnants of the Black Dragon Sect were not mixed among the audience, but among the geniuses of the Green Dragon Sky.
Obviously, they must have had some plot in mind.
“True Dragon Qi!” Green Lotus Venerable’s expression turned grim, “They must have come for the True Dragon Qi.”
“What do we do, with over seven hundred competitors here, how could we possibly know which one?”
“It shouldn’t be the disciples who participated in the last competition, otherwise we would have had news earlier.”
“Moreover, if people from the Black Dragon Sect want to obtain the True Dragon Qi, they will surely send young, skilled fighters.”
“So, we just need to keep an eye on those new geniuses.”
The five Venerables felt solemn; they would not allow the Black Dragon Sect to get their hands on the True Dragon Qi!
Moreover, Green Lotus Venerable had a trace of concern in his heart; he feared this True Dragon Qi was related to the Hierarch of the Black Dragon Sect.
He had taken part in the war against the Black Dragon Sect, so he knew some inside information.
“I hope my guess isn’t true,” Green Lotus Venerable gazed downward.
The martial artists below, of course, had no idea, and they continued to watch the competition with tense anticipation.
Lin Xuan triumphed all the way, continuously achieving consecutive victories.
On his silver battle armor, half had already turned a pale gold color.
As the number of matches increased, the true strength of the competitors was gradually displaying itself more clearly.
Arena number three housed Crown Prince Tianhuo, who dominated his peers, undefeated.
Following him were the two great figures, Lei Zhen and Yue Yan, their golden battle armors shining brightly.
Apart from them, several other martial artists sporting golden battle armors were obviously experts from the previous competition.
These martial artists wearing golden battle armors were the leading existences on arena number three, representing peak combat power.
Aside from them, some other individuals were extremely eye-catching.
Those were the new geniuses of this competition.
Their strength was formidable, far surpassing most martial artists, even chasing after those in golden battle armor.
Among them, the most dazzling were three individuals.
Lin Xuan, Thunder Sect’s Shangguan Hao, and Yun Hai from the Yun Family.
These three had maintained a record of total victory from the start of the competition, never defeated.
Thunder Sect and the Yun Family had new stars emerge, which everyone could accept, since both were top powers.
But Lin Xuan’s emergence was a surprise.
The overall strength of the Dragon Star Country was inferior, and in the past, it wouldn’t have been possible for such a genius new star to appear.
Many people were secretly investigating Lin Xuan’s background.
On top of the ancient city, five Venerables looked towards Lin Xuan with slightly furrowed brows.
Since the news that remnants of the Black Dragon Sect had infiltrated their ranks, they had been closely monitoring the new star geniuses.
And a star genius like Lin Xuan, who lacked a powerful background, naturally received extra attention.
“Who is this young man?
What is his background?” Green Lotus Venerable asked.
Soon, a Spirit Communication Realm Martial Artist came forward to report.
“Reporting to the Venerable, we have ascertained his identity.
The young man is named Lin Xuan, a disciple of the Big Banner Sect in Dragon Star Country.”
“The Big Banner Sect?” the five Venerables were mildly taken aback.
Speaking of the Big Banner Sect, they were not unfamiliar; Leng Rushuang, the Sect Leader of the Big Banner Sect, used to be a member of the Martial Alliance.
“Is there any other clue?” Green Lotus Venerable asked.
“According to the information, Lin Xuan was not originally a disciple of the Big Banner Sect, and moreover, he is not from Dragon Star Country.”
“What?” The five Venerables were shocked; it seemed this young man named Lin Xuan was very suspicious.
“Where does he come from?
Why did he join the Big Banner Sect?”
“I have already inquired with the people from Big Banner Sect.
It is said that Lin Xuan joined just to participate in the Azure Dragon Society meeting.”
“As for his origins, he appeared in Heavenly Mountain Country before and won the championship of the Pill King competition.”
“Concerning what happened before Heavenly Mountain Country, we still do not have a clear understanding.”
“Continue investigating, we must find out his entire background!” Green Lotus Venerable ordered.
Currently, Lin Xuan’s identity was the most suspicious.
“Why keep investigating?
No matter who he is, just capture him first!” Red Fire Venerable snorted coldly.
“If it comes to it, simply conduct a Soul Search!”
“Venerable, according to the intelligence, it seems Lin Xuan has a not shallow relationship with Lord Leng,” the Spirit Communication Realm Martial Artist revealed.
“Oh, he is connected to Leng Rushuang?”
The Venerables were taken aback; it seemed Lin Xuan was even more mysterious than they imagined, to have a connection with Lord Leng.
It was known that Lord Leng had been injured hundreds of years ago and had been in closed-door cultivation since, with even them unable to meet him.
And Lin Xuan, having a link to the Leng’s Sect Leader, must be far from simple!
“You go to investigate first, do not act rashly,” Green Lotus Venerable instructed.
Lin Xuan was naturally unaware that he had attracted the Venerables’ attention; he was now cultivating while watching the competition on the arena.
Soon, his eyebrows raised in excitement.
Because the contestant on the stage was a young man with thunder flickering all over his body, carrying a terrifying aura.
This young man was Thunder Sect’s new star genius, Shangguan Hao.
“Such terrifying power of thunder and lightning, this Shangguan Hao’s strength is perhaps very close to Lei Zhen!”
“Yes, ordinary Spirit Transformation Realm Martial Artists can almost not get near him.”
“Indeed befitting of a new star genius, truly has an extraordinary momentum!”
The crowd below buzzed with conversation.
“Youngster, you’re quite strong, but your winning streak ends here!”
Opposite him, a young man holding a blood-colored long whip sneered coldly.
This young man also had a powerful aura, and most of his war armor shone with golden light, with only a small part being silver.
Clearly, he was a master.
“Damn, it’s the Blood Demon, Luo Fei!” someone exclaimed.
